As you can see in the closed circuit TV footage, the driver of the lorry was apparently in a hurry to pass the traffic light and speeded through the crossroad only to overturn and drop the container on its side. According to media reports, officials said by-passers narrowly avoided being hit.

 

The above video reminded me of the truck drivers along Changi Coastal Road, where I used to drive along every day. There are several sharp bends along the road, as seen in the picture below. Container drivers are seen driving at high speeds along those bends. Since Changi Coastal Road has traffic in both directions, I can

The last time I encountered nearly such case was at Aljunied, this trailer was negotiating a bend at high speed on the opposite side, and the trailer with a container sort of swing outwards. Because it was a two way traffic lane, I was on the opposite side, my heart skip for a moment.

    Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon.

    DENZA D9: True Flagship Excellence

    What makes something a flagship? Flagship products represent the very best of a brand. Whether it's cars, electronic products, even services, a 'flagship' is core to a brand experience, as well as to the brand's image.

    The Act of Creation

    “WHAT’S A GOOD USERNAME?!” Such was the source of my agony as I was handed a pair of figurative keys to MyAutoBlog. I’d asked the colleague from IT who was helping me set up this account if I really had to make an account with my work email, hoping I could use the username that came with my personal MCF account instead. “yes”, in lowercase no less, was what I got. Oh well. After a good 10 minutes (I think), I decided on this username (a reference I hope someone gets), juvenile and
